How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
RE: Before the coming of givedirectly in my community my family and i barely survived from the sells made from our little farm products, Which was never enough to take care of needs as a family.
My biggest dream was to construct my own little house which my family and i can live in peace without fear of being considered useless or unserious in my old age. And now with the help from givedirectly i have purchase zinc and plank to construct that house of mine. Am grateful to God and givedirectly.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
RE: Givedirectly is doing very well from the first time they entered our community (enrolment) till now they have been doing well.
Workers from givedirectly are very different from other NGOs workers in terms of talking and listening to people. I consider them(employees) very trained and well manor, they smile with you while talking to you and they never gets tired answering our questions.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
RE: With this my recent transfer I want to registrar my children in school because my children have never been in school and they are growing by each passing day.
